Frequently asked questions

What is the ERC1561G camshaft retaining plate and what does it do?
The ERC1561G is the camshaft retaining plate for the four-cylinder engine. It bolts to the front face of the cylinder block behind the camshaft gear, locating the camshaft axially and controlling its endfloat so the camshaft can't move fore and aft.
Which engines and models does this plate fit?
This camshaft retaining plate suits the 2.25-litre petrol and 2.5-litre diesel, turbo diesel and 200TDi four-cylinder engines, fitted to the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Series 2 and 3, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994 from VIN JA610294).
When is the camshaft retaining plate replaced?
The retaining plate is typically renewed during timing or engine rebuild work, when the timing cover and camshaft gear are already off. A worn plate lets camshaft endfloat increase, so check endfloat against the workshop manual specification when reassembling.
